Surprise Proposal in Volosko, Croatia

A story about a surprise proposal in Volosko, Croatia. When Wietse planned to propose to Lisa, he wanted natural emotion rather than a staged moment — so we turned a casual couples session into the real thing. Knowing Volosko well made all the difference: the seaside Lungomare has endless spots for real, unforced reactions without feeling like a public performance. 

Lisa believed she was simply getting photos taken with Wietse and their dog Balto. What she didn’t know was that the camera was there to catch one of the biggest moments of her life. With Balto by their side, the surprise unfolded so naturally.

Tips for planning a proposal in Croatia

• Choose quieter seasons. Croatian coast shines in late spring and early fall, when the light is soft and crowds are lighter. 

• Trust your photographer. Local photographers know secret nooks and how light behaves during the day.

• Make it personal. Whether it’s a meaningful location or including a beloved pet, little details make the story yours.
